VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Sew a Watson Bra

Learn to sew your own soft bra in this virtual sewing workshop!

Under the guidance of teacher Christine Haynes in this 3-part workshop, you'll learn the how to make a Watson Bra by Cloth Habit, custom fit to your body!

The Watson is a 70s-inspired bra perfect for lounging or dressing up! It is a very easy-to-wear style with a plunge neckline and is designed for stretch fabrics in the cups. Make it as a longline bra for a little glamour (and more lift!) or try the shorter band for a very simple day bra.

 You'll learn how to:

• Work with stretch lingerie fabrics

• Apply both strap elastic and plush trim elastic

• Create adjustable bra straps with rings and sliders

• Clean finish bra seams

• Understand bra construction and gain the skills to tackle more complicated lingerie projects
